Crypto Fintech Moonpay与万事达卡联队启用Tether（USDT）付款

Moonpay与万事达卡合作，使加密用户能够使用Tether的USDT Stablecoin付费。

Crypto fintech MoonPay has teamed up with Mastercard to enable crypto users to pay for everyday purchases with Tether’s (CRYPTO: USDT) stablecoin.

Crypto Fintech Moonpay已与万事达卡合作，使加密用户能够使用Tether's（Crypto：USDT）Stablecoin付费。

What Happened: The MoonPay Mastercard will be usable at 150 million locations where Mastercard is accepted, in more than 200 countries and territories. USDT will be automatically converted into fiat currency at the point of sale.

发生的事情：Moonpay Mastercard将在200多个国家和地区接受万事达卡的1.5亿个地点可用。 USDT将在销售点自动转换为法定货币。

“With this partnership, every crypto wallet will also have access to new stablecoin-powered virtual Mastercards,” said Moonpay.

Moonpay说：“通过这种合作伙伴关系，每个加密钱包也将可以使用新的稳定驱动的虚拟万事达。”

“By providing solutions that unlock stablecoin utility and ubiquity, we are redefining how money moves globally and driving a shift in payments as we know it. Together with MoonPay, we’re building innovative and secure connectivity between crypto and mainstream finance ecosystems.” said Scott Abrahams, executive vice president of global partnerships at Mastercard.

“通过提供解锁Stablecoin实用程序和无处不在的解决方案，我们正在重新定义金钱在全球范围内如何移动，并促进我们所知道的付款转移。与Moonpay一起，我们正在建立加密货币和主流金融生态系统之间的创新和安全的连通性。”万事达卡全球合作伙伴关系执行副总裁Scott Abrahams说。

Paolo Ardino, CEO of Tether, called the partnership “huge”, saying, “USDT cards are the best idea after sliced bread,” in an X post.

Tether首席执行官Paolo Ardino在X帖子中称合作伙伴关系为“巨大”，称“ USDT卡是切成薄片的面包后最好的主意”。

The partnership will leverage infrastructure from Iron, a stablecoin payments firm MoonPay acquired in March.

该合作伙伴关系将利用Iron的基础设施，这是3月收购的Stablecoin支付公司Moonpay。

Payments Giants Embrace Stablecoins: Mastercard isn't alone in venturing into the realm of stablecoin payments. In late April, Visa partnered with Baanx to introduce a stablecoin payments card using Circle's USDC (CRYPTO: USDC). These cards are designed to be compatible with self-custodial wallets. Similar to the Mastercard/MoonPay card, the Visa/Baanx cards also perform the conversion of stablecoins to the local fiat currency at the point of sale.

付款巨头拥抱稳定的人：万事达卡并不孤单地冒险进入Stablecoin付款领域。 4月下旬，Visa与Baanx合作，使用Circle的USDC（Crypto：USDC）引入Stablecoin Payments卡。这些卡的设计与自我监测的钱包兼容。与万事达卡/月餐卡类似，Visa/Baanx卡在销售点上也将稳定币转换为当地菲亚特货币。

Tether holds the largest share of the stablecoin market, with a market capitalization of $151 billion. USDC follows in second place, boasting a market cap of $60 billion.

Tether拥有Stablecoin市场的最大份额，市值为1510亿美元。 USDC紧随其后，拥有600亿美元的市值。

Both Mastercard and Baanx have also collaborated to create a card that empowers users to spend crypto directly from their MetaMask wallets.

万事达卡和baanx都合作创建了一张卡，使用户可以直接从其元掩体钱包中花费加密货币。

Stablecoins are increasingly being recognized as an excellent payments method, a view partly shared by the Trump administration, which sees stablecoins as a way to export and maintain the U.S. dollar's market dominance globally.

Stablecoins越来越被认为是一种出色的付款方法，这是特朗普政府部分分享的观点，该观点将Stablecoins视为出口和维持全球美元市场优势的一种方式。

A bipartisan bill aiming to pass stablecoin regulation, which could significantly enhance their acceptance, recently faced a setback as Democrats demanded stronger consumer protections and a ban on the President profiting from cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins.

一项旨在通过Stablecoin法规的两党法案可能会大大提高他们的接受，最近面临挫折，因为民主党要求更强有力的消费者保护和禁止从包括stablecoins在内的加密货币中获利的总统。

Advantages Of Stablecoin Payments: Stablecoins' greatest strength as a payments tool stems from their peg to the U.S. dollar, ensuring price stability and enabling nearly instantaneous cross-border settlement. They also provide a means to protect savings while facilitating easy payments in high-inflation economies.

Stablecoin付款的优势：Stablecoins作为付款工具的最大优势源于其钉到美元的销售，确保价格稳定性并实现了几乎瞬时的跨境解决方案。他们还提供了一种保护节省的手段，同时促进高通货膨胀经济体的轻松付款。

"Whether it's shopping at a local market in Asia Pacific or a Latin American merchant paying a European supplier online, these capabilities offer significant advantages," Mastercard noted in a statement.

MasterCard在一份声明中指出：“无论是在亚太地区的当地市场购物，还是在线支付欧洲供应商的拉丁美洲商人，这些功能都具有很大的优势。”

MoonPay, which integrates with over 500 crypto platforms including major wallets and exchanges, boasts a combined reach of over 100 million active crypto users. The company adds that around 20 million wallets globally perform stablecoin transfers every month, and 120 million hold stablecoin balances.

Moonpay与包括主要钱包和交易所在内的500多个加密平台集成在一起，拥有超过1亿活跃的加密使用者的总覆盖范围。该公司补充说，全球约有约2000万钱包每月进行Stablecoin进行转移，而拥有1.2亿个持有稳定的钱包余额。
